IT IS time to fast-track the passing of a measure that seeks to prevent adolescent pregnancy in the Philippines, according to a young lawmaker from Quezon City .
He immediately buckled down to work in the congress after his trip to Cannes, France last May where he successfully promoted and sold his film Topakk along with fellow actor Enchong Dee to various foreign film producers. Although adolescent pregnancy among those 15-19 years old has gone down to 7.2% in 2021 from 14.4% in 2013, the number of births by mothers aged 10-14 years have also shown a slight increase , according to the United Nations Population Fund .
The plan would serve as the national framework for inter-agency and inter-sectoral collaboration and resource allocation at all levels, to address the various health, cultural socio-economic and institutional determinants of adolescent pregnancy. Experts, the 32-year-old veteran actor said, will continue to underscore the negative effect of teen pregnancy, particularly its social and economic outcomes for both adolescent mother and child.
